Green Bay obviously isn’t going to go into Week One against the 49ers with Rodgers as their only quarterback suited up, so they must be planning to sign some other quarterback who was let go by some other team in the last few days.

A 2012 seventh-round draft pick, Coleman did not play particularly well during the preseason, so it isn’t a huge surprise that he has been released. But it does remain an open question what would happen to the Packers’ offense if Rodgers were to suffer an injury. Whoever Rodgers’ backup is, he’s not on the Packers’ roster right now, and the season opener is six days away.

WTH is going on up in Green Bay? Unless they are bringing back VY I can’t see who they would bring in that would get up to speed fast enough for the start of the season. Maybe Favre is the unofficial secret backup lol. I am kidding so limit the thumbs down. Again, am I missing something as to the plan that TT has for this team because I just don’t see it other than the VY scenario

So-o-o-o-o you get rid of all your backups, then try to find someone who could step in if Rogers goes down? Any bets Rogers gets hurt first game and is out for the season??? No back up with ANY knowledge of the system in place. Geeee’s

Hahaha…they sign Seneca Wallace. A Drama Queen for the locker room. Just what the Pack needs. I’m a Bears fan. I don’t want to see Rodgers hurt. But hey, if he goes down with a hangnail, well maybe Tebow might be called

This is overconfidence at its worst. Whoever they bring onto the team, this late in the preseason, still has to learn the playbook. And now that Coleman is gone, if Rodgers gets injured on his first snap, what plays is the new quarterback gonna run? Is he gonna draw plays in the dirt? This is just CRAZY. Big, BIG mistake. They should have kept Vince until they found another backup and got him familiar with the playbook!

In terms of contending for the Lombardi trophy, yes, you’re right. But such is the case with almost every team in the league, given the conditions for league-wide parity (e.g., salary cap) which have made it such a popular sport.

But here’s the difference:

If some teams had lost their starting rb, like the Packers just did, losing DuJuan Harris for the season, it certainly doesn’t help their chances, but they still aren’t totally out of contention as long as they have Rodgers behind center.

Yet if your Vikings lose Adrian Peterson, then even with your starting QB your season is most definitely done. But then again, as long as you have the QB you do, your season is “done” even with Adrian Peterson, that is, at least, in terms of seriously contending for the Lombardi Trophy, as distinct from trying to beat the Packers once a year (= your Super Bowl). How bout dem apples?

P.S.: Given you’re a Vikings fan, I shouldn’t assume you know what a “Lombardi Trophy” is. Fyi, it’s the trophy awarded to a team which actually wins a Super Bowl, as distinct from losing a Super Bowl (and/or losing multiple ones), or winning the Division championship, or having the #1 rated running back in the league, or the rare occurrence of beating their division rival once a year, etc., etc.
